Is it possible to see the details of what is going on behind the scenes/screen during booting of Windows XP? Something like the dump that is shown when booting up in safe mode.
I mean, like in windows 7 that you can access the files of other users only if you provide a correct password. Is there any way that we could implement this kind of OS behavior in xp?
In the "Date and Time Properties" dialog of WindowsXP (reachable by double-clicking on the time/date on the taskbar) the week in the calendar starts on Monday. I would like to change it so that it starts on Sunday. How can this be done?
Thanks in advance
I created a Windows 8 system image backup on a separate drive before I installed Linux, and during the Linux installation process I accidentally wiped out Windows. I now want to restore my Windows 8 backup that I have on the separate drive. I created a repair USB stick and I followed the directions according to this article. After selecting the image on the hard drive, I get this error: "To restore this computer, Windows needs to format the hard drive." I don't know what this means! The drive partitions are different now then they were when I backup up, so I don't know if that matters. I re-installed Windows and I can restore my files from this backup, but I don't think this covers the registry, etc. I want a full restore. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or how to restore in a different way? Thanks!
Hey all
I'm running XP Pro SP3 on a Late 2007-era 2.2Ghz Macbook.
Unfortunately, it's recently started giving me a Blue Screen of Death when I try to hibernate it.
It gives me the error "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", and at the bottom says that it's in "hiber_atapi.sys". Most of the Googling I've done thus far turns up things referring to Windows Server 2003, which is obviously less than useful.
Anyone know any way to fix this short of a full re-install?
Hi,
apologies if this has already been asked - I couldn't spot anything exactly the same.
I'm looking for help on the fact that WindowsXP has suddenly decided to stop assigning a drive letter to the second partition on my laptop's disk. I haven't added or changed hardware and I keep everything pretty clean in terms of software installed.
I've partitioned the disk into a system partition on C: and a user partition on d: but lately, when booting or coming out of hibernation or sometime from stand-by, Windows will lose it's d: mapping. If I notice and remap it from MMC, everything will be perfectly happy and will keep going.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev
My computer is in a boot loop and despite all my efforts, I haven't been able to load windowsXP with it. When the computer loads, I see some white loading bar at the bottom, then the windowsXP loading screen, then the DELL boot screen, then windowsXP loading screen, and it just keeps looping. The blue screen error is:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
Stop: 0x000000ED (0x823D6C08, 0xC000009C, 0x000000000, 0x000000000)
I have booted using Hiren's mini XP, and ran CHKDSK /f /r, but it didn't affect the boot loop. Is there anything else I can try to get my computer to start up? I don't have my windowsXP disc, but I have a dvd burner on another computer, and can burn a downloaded ISO if it could help me get out of this loop.
Thanks!
Hey all, i seem to be having a problem with getting ports to forward on my Windows Server 2008 R2 PC. I already set all my port forwarding for 5900/5800 on my router for my PC's IP address (192.168.1.22) but when i try to use the TightVNC PFPortChecker on port 5900 it tells me its not opened! I can not even connect to my DYNDNS server name (xxxxxxx.dyndns.org).
As a side note, i am running WindowsXP SP3 within a VirtaulBox inside Windows Server 2008 R2 but running the PFPortChecker in Windows 2008 R2 brings the same results as it does in the VM.
I also added them to the Windows Firewall Advanced Security form to add those inbound ports for full access.
What could i possibly be missing?
Thanks for your time!

I have windowsXP professional installed on my desktop. It shows up the following errors - Physical memory dumping blue screen. :
This aint a new problem, i have been facing this problem ever since i bought this systme. initially the maintainence guy said it was a faulty hard drive and i have got it replaced 3 times already in the past 1 yr.
The system gets utterly slow after a usage of around 2-3 months and then these errors crop up and i have to reinstall my windows to keep away these errors. But this time,its been only a week and the blue screen has come up 3 times.
What can be the actual cause of the error??
Mine is an assembled machine, its a core 2duo with gigabyte motherboard and a 1 gb ram, 160 gb seagate hdd.
please help me its a seriously annoying problem.
Edit :
A new error recent popprd up, what should i do now??
Can anyone recommend (free) Thesaurus software for WindowsXP (that isn't WordWeb)? It has to work with British English.
I want to install standalone software that gives me easy access (right click, keyboard shortcut or something) to alternatives to the selected word when I'm writing, whether it's an email, a text doc in notepad, on an internet forum or whatever.
I've tried WordWeb but found it pretty horrible - I want something that acts more like the Thesaurus in MS Word, giving a dozen or so decent alternatives to the selected word.
I've got a copy of WinXP off of MSDNAA, with a key. I've mounted it to my CD-drive, and now I'm trying to make it in to a VM.
The problem is, it seems that the thing is constantly trying to connect to a DHCP server, fails to connect and then decides no operating system was found.
The file I got off MSDNAA was an .img file, so I had to mount it to a virtual CD drive.
VmWare workstation comes with a WindowsXP iso, tried that, also failed.
I added a user account to my WindowsXP box. Now this user is only accessing the pc remotely. My question is how can I remove that user from the login welcome screen? In fact how can I eliminate the welcome screen alltogeather and just log into the box automatically from the main user account?
Thanks
For an illustration, I need the WindowsXP hour-glass cursor as a transparent image (PNG or whatever). Is it possible to extract the cursor from some system file?
I found a page with cursors, but the hour-glass one is missing:

Hi all,

Thanks

I've upgraded recently from Windows Vista to Windows 8. When I try to rate my computer, it accesses DirectX 9 performance, then processes to DirectX 10 tests:
And it gets stuck at this point. In 5–10 minutes, it shows error message:
The video card is rather old: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family. I'm pretty sure it does not support DirectX 10. Why does Windows assess it with DirectX 10? And how can I make it skip DirectX 10 tests and get the system rating?
The driver was installed automatically by Windows 8 from Windows Update.
Version: 8.15.10.2697

I'm trying to shrink a Windows 7 XPMode VHD file with VhdResizer with little success.
When I select my VHD file, it says "VhdExpand only supports fixed and dynamic VHD files". My XPMode VHDs are dynamic files.
Does anyone have any idea why it is failing?
Failing that, does anyone have a process that I can use to shrink my XPmode VHD files on Windows 7 (64 bit)?

I installed windows live writer and configured it to connect to my xmlrpc enabled blog engine. After doing so, it threw an unrecoverable error and closed down.
After attempting to restart windows live writer, it throws the following exception each time:
Description:
Windows Live Writer has encountered a problem: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed.
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: WindowsLiveWriter
Problem Signature 01: CreateThis
Problem Signature 02: 115
Problem Signature 03: System.UriFormatException

Problem Signature 06: Windows Live Writer
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
Since I was unable to start windows live writer at all, I tried uninstalling it and removing all files associated with it in my "C:/users/[username]/appdata" folder. After that, I re-installed it and still get the error every time I try to launch the application.
Does anyone know how I can get around this?
I am using gprint as a shell call to print pdf files. I have to install the network printer first, but the program runs under a different account. Is there anyway to install a network printer under WindowsXP so that it is available to all accounts on the machine?
How can I boot WindowsXP Embedded from SD?
SD is connected directly to Intel US15W SCH (SDIO).
BIOS supports boot from SD (Linux boots successfully).
Thank you in advance,

I have Remote Assistance working but not Remote Desktop.
XP Firewall has exceptions for both Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop is allowed in System Properties - Remote.
What could be the problem?
